I'm a big JDM fan and mostly relied on local shops to bring in parts for me such as my favorite and affordable brake system by ProjectMu (PMu, Pμ), or from Subaru Malaysia itself. But recently, I was recommended JPNBUY, which is a subsidiary of eFMX Malaysia. Oh God, after going through the whole process, its just so scary on how easy it is to just buy parts from Japan!
People used to say that they managed their own logistics with Yahoo Auctions, Japanparts.com, RHDJapan and JpnBid. Personally I have not tried them as it seemed difficult to start off with, but with JPNBUY, it was very straightforward.
All I had to do was to just search for the items that I want, in this case I was looking for the STI Flexi Strut Tower Bar for my WRX, and I found a used item which was cheaper and in good condition.
The best part about JPNBUY is that it also provides an estimated cost in Ringgit (MYR).
Depending on the item, you can either Bid or Buyout directly.
Once I have shopped for a few items and checkout, I had to initially pay for the product cost alone. This will include the price of the item + shipping to Japan warehouse, and not the full price from Japan to Malaysia yet.
So let me try to illustrate to you on how it works based on my experience:
Once I have paid for my purchase, I just waited for the warehouse to receive them. I was notified by email once they have arrived. Once all my items have arrived, I then initiated the shipment by clicking "To Packing".
To my surprise, the items arrived really fast. After I paid the final amount, I received a notification in 2 days that my items were ready for pick up!
Their pick up location is at: eFMX warehouse in Shah Alam. It's very near to a Kesas Highway exit so it's very convenient.
In my excitement, I then straight away headed on to C&H Garage where Boss Howard swiftly installed my STI Flexi Tower Bar for me.
Looking great while I "try" to keep my car as stock as possible. #stockituindah
